Backwards compatability might be convenient, but it’s not practical to implement. The best example is probably the PS3. It was only PS2-compatible because they literally put PS2 hardware inside a PS3. This caused all sorts of over-heating issues, and was why PS2 compatibility was removed.

You want to play PS3 games? Don’t get rid of your PS3! Pretty simple solution.

Umm, what? Unless you wanted the PS4 to come out at $599 again, it was kind of necessary. The move from the bizarre Cell architecture (which, let’s face it, really hampered the PS3 for a LONG time) to a more standard X86 architecture was absolutely necessary. The only way the PS3 had backwards compatibility was to…

You don’t have to optimize crowds on PS4 if they’re already bad to begin with.

Your inability to notice armed rioters looting the Capitol building, planting explosives, and beating a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher, while committing domestic terrorism in the cause of overturning the lawful election of someone they didn’t like, is emblematic of how “it’s not bad when white people…

I think we can safely assume there will be zero consequences for any of this.

Just like the statue debate. It’s more complicated than knee jerk reactions make it appear to be. Protesting statue removal isn’t about defending racism.

we are around the same age,( I was 8 in 1988, and my mom was diagnosed in 86) my mom was diagnosed with MS at the same time. and I have almost the same story as you in regards to metroid. man, small world.

The article is about being spat on. I would love to see the stats on disease transmission through...what would the term be...”ground spit”?

Times are certainly tough right now but your personal burden would probably be much lighter if you got that gigantic chip off your shoulder. The article’s point was to 1) close out the retrospective series and 2) note that traditional generation dividers are no longer relevant in the way they once were. Sorry you’re…

They’re lying. From only sending out PC codes, to ordering takedowns of console footage, to not showing base console footage themselves, it’s clear they knew it was a problem, and they hid it.

Corporations need to stop this shit. Words have multiple meanings. Just because one of those meanings might be ableist, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with using it in a different context. Hell, this isn’t even in a negative one. A blind playthrough is a good thing! This kind of faux-supportive bullshit just…

PC culture at its worst... Should hunters change the name of their hideouts too? Stop being so sensitive about everything. There are 15 definitions of the word “blind” here.  Quit pretending like yours is the only and/or most important one.

I want to call this out specifically for the bullshit it is. How in God’s name can you expect any of us to have empathy for people who in the face of everything that’s happening continue to endanger themselves and others by denying the cold reality staring back at us?

That’s why I got mine. My black ass could end up unemployed or dead whenever, so why not enjoy it?

*looks at my handle/avatar*

Can I just add to the fuck “when they go low, we go high” chorus.

Let them. Let them all get sick.  2020 has shown us that the herd needs some serious thinning.

This is why you need to CALL AND ORDER YOUR FOOD. Don’t use an app or service. And none of this “ohhhh I don’t like talking on the phone I’m scurred” bullshit. Grow the fuck up and support your local businesses and make sure they aren’t getting bullshit fees cutting into their revenue. I know it’s easier to order…

It would have been even more obnoxious if you had put the apostrophe in the word “apostrophe”
